Received copy of Oct. 21 TIME today, and have just read as far as p. 13 in it. Received quite a shock and am protesting against what I think is an unkind term. The article in question is the one about Mrs. Muench. Very last word. You speak of the infant as "a Pennsylvania servant girl's bastard!" And I ask you-is that nice...
...protest re your "Dead Hog & Roast Pork" in the Oct. 28 issue. Granting that one reader's roast pork is another's dead hog," '' don't you think the protests printed were nevertheless indicative of the fact that TIME does word things in such a way that biases may be inferred, though perhaps not intended? Your style is intended to be interesting, and is so, but I personally often feel that in the effort to be interesting, you go too far. We have only just started to take TIME regularly. I have read practically every...
Reading the letters in TIME, Oct. 28 has clarified my mind as to your claimed fairness or lack of bias: when your statements or expressed point of view or ground for inference as to your opinion are such as to agree with my own opinion, you are undoubtedly fair and unbiased, but when any of these are contrary to what I think, then you are certainly unfair, biased, prejudiced, mean, underhanded. Consequently, when I am about to rush you a cancellation of my subscription I am brought to a pause by the discovery that you agree with...
TIME'S comparison (Oct. 21, p. 56) of a ripe human ovum with a pinhead gives an inadequate concept of the true size of this interesting cell. Actually its diameter is but 1/200 in. This is about the size of the smallest grain of sand that could be seen with the unaided eye. Stated differently, a sphere having the diameter of a common pinhead (1/12 in.) possesses nearly 4,000 times the volume of a human egg. One can compute further that all the eggs needed to replace the present population of the world could be held...
...wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the very excellent and unprejudiced manner in which you presented the Chinese aviation picture in TIME, Oct. 14. I personally appreciated very much your recognition of the efforts of the American Aviation Mission in China. When you mentioned the group, as a "devoted group," you were correct, as these young men did a wonderful job under extremely adverse circumstances. Living as we did in the interior of China, the mails from home were looked forward to with the greatest impatience. I think that every member of the group was a subscriber...
